When I came here and traveled there, Lu, I was tired of you; but now, when you guided me everywhere I fell in love with you and married you.
When I travelled to here and to there, I was tired of thee, O Road,
but now when thou leadest me to everywhere I am wedded to thee in love.

Let me suppose that among the stars, there is a star that guides my life through unknowable darkness.
Let me think that there is one among those stars that guides my life
through the dark unknown.
The Birds collection is a collection of poems by the Indian poet Tagore, which includes 325 beautiful untitled poems, first published in 1916. The basic themes of these poems are mostly extremely common things, such as grass, fallen leaves, birds, stars, rivers, and so on.
Because the poet is loyal to his own thoughts, has a keen insight into nature and society, and has a brilliant pen that is good at expressing the heart song, these small poems that seem to be only a few words contain rich ideas, profound philosophies, and show a fresh, bright, beautiful and timeless style. The Collected Birds has been translated into many languages around the world, which has promoted the emergence and development of China's "Small Poetry Movement".
